Dit museum gaat over de chirurgie en de medische kennis. Er zijn heel veel voorbeelden van mens en dier op sterkwater die in het verleden zijn gebruikt om kennis en ervaring op te doen. Veel informatie met toelichting over deze geschiedenis, wij honden het zeer boeiend en interessant hoe deze medische ontwikkeling is geweest. De toegang is gratis maar een donatie is altijd welkom.

A fantastically stocked museum full of medical oddities and history. It’s a small museum but lots in it. Not for the faint of heart.
